4 Reasons The 2023 Trailblazer is Summertime’s Park and Rec-Ready Crossover

2023 Chevy Trailblazer

Customers looking for a great model to test drive at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis have many reasons to get excited about spending their summer with the appealing and affordable 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. While it makes great strides to be noticed in a sea of bland, a few key features allow it to stand out among the rest. Fitting within the smaller-sized segment of the lineup, it’s still large enough to have space for five and a bit of cargo room. 

Here are four things we love about the Trailblazer that give it an edge and allow it to proudly reign as a summer fun and to-do-list slaying machine!

Fresh updates render it easy on the eyes: The Trailblazer’s bold new color selection and two-tone appearance options allow for a cool visual pop, much like the holiday fireworks we will be admiring in just over a month! This color scheme also comes with a white roof that gives it an appealing and personal shine. Many of our competitors have admittedly stepped up their game in the family-friendly crossover realm, but with the Trailblazer, we can firmly attest you’re going to love its all-around look. 

The 3-cylinder turbo packs a potent punch: we know that most compact crossovers out there in the market today incorporate their unique variation of the standard 4-cylinder engine build. It is not the most common occurrence to come across a vehicle with an odd number of cylinders, but that's another way that the Trailblazer boasts a unique character. This 1.3-liter turbocharged engine cranks out 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque and allows for a few thrilling escapades on twisty roads you’ll want to check out nearby. 

It’s open season for off-road fun: Many drivers out there today are looking for an urban get-around vehicle with a unique and fun streak. This year's Trailblazer now comes with the ACTIV trim, which adds some vital features to render it fully trail ready. Protective skid plates, sport terrain tires, and a suspension lift all bring excitement about rolling up your sleeves and kicking up some dust. Drivers of all types are now exploring the thrill of off-roading, and these extra accessories will make this prospect fair game.

Selectable all-wheel drive for the terrain win: Another way that the Trailblazer stands apart from the competition is its selectable all-wheel drive system. This allows users to toggle between all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive, depending on if they are after a boost in fuel economy or improved traction. Pure rear-wheel drive can be engaged if you wish for a bit of raw excitement, and full all-wheel drive functionality is a great advantage in bad weather. Having both options at the touch of a button gives an advantage and a sense of unique versatility.

The days of summer bring us so many unique opportunities to get outside and have fun, which is what any busy family is looking forward to after the work week is behind them. We know you'll love the accessibility and budget-minded approach of the Trailblazer, and the exhilarating arrival of a new vehicle in your driveway is the most rewarding way to beat the heat!
